OH NO! My home yarn store is closing....

September 17 as I was knitting in the recliner at home, I got an email.  Depth of Field, my favorite yarn store is closing December 1.

This has been a year of many changes.  This is not one I expected.   It took me a few minutes to get back to my calm center.

Depth, as I call it, has been a happy place for me for over 20 years.   I started going there when I could really afford "nice" yarn.  I did have a stash from working for yarn and not money in a store in the early 80's.   That place never had the same feeling as Depth.

Like many yarn stores, Depth of Field has a great community of knitters.   Many of us mourn the loss of a wonderful place to knit communally.

The going out of business sale has been visited by me...a lot.   Fortunately, I know what I need for projects that are coming up and could plan accordingly.  I bought only three matching skeins because they were too pretty to leave behind.

Between now and December 1, I am going to spend as many lunch hours as I can knitting there...and soaking up the goodness while I still can.
